Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 269 - Know This, Know That

Chapter 269: Know This, Know That

“Senior Brother… I—” Ling Yichen was stunned after he heard Fu Chengyu’s words. He stuttered and was unable to finish his sentence.

“How could I not tell the matters of your heart?” asked Fu Chengyu with a smile. “Go on, work hard on your cultivation. The compet.i.tion is about to start very soon.”

“All right. Thank you, Senior Brother,” expressed Ling Yichen sincerely after taking a deep breath.

“Between you and I who are brothers, there is no need for thanks,” replied Fu Chengyu with a smile. To Fu Chengyu, “brother” was a word only Ling Yichen had the right to bear. As for those other Imperial Brothers of his, there had never been the least bit of brotherly love between them. “However, you need to be extremely careful. Don’t be overanxious to succeed,” cautioned Fu Chengyu. He still could not be a.s.sured and instructed Ling Yichen once again.

“All right. I got it. Be rest a.s.sured, Senior Brother,” said Ling Yichen as he nodded with a solemn expression.

…

At this moment, Ling Chuxi was bringing Lan Xinyu to buy herbs.

“What on earth? You don’t have any money? You pighead. You actually used up all your money to gamble. Now we don’t even have money to buy herbs!” said Ling Chuxi angrily, wis.h.i.+ng she could choke Lan Xinyu to death.

“Aren’t you just the same?!” retorted Lan Xinyu as she glared at Ling Chuxi. Ling Chuxi had also used up all the money she had to gamble and even borrowed quite a bit from Fu Chengyu, and yet she still had the cheek to comment on others!

“However, what do you want to buy the herbs for?” asked Lan Xinyu softly. Furthermore, the herbs she wanted to purchase seemed to be expensive.

“To help refine a pill for you. A Tian Luo Pill. So that you can break through to Level 8 faster,” replied Ling Chuxi in an even more hushed tone. After she finished speaking, she immediately covered Lan Xinyu’s mouth to prevent her from yelling out loud.

Lan Xinyu’s mouth was covered but her eyes were wide and round as she looked at Ling Chuxi in disbelief. ‘What did she just say?! Refine a pill? Help her to break through to Level 8?! With a Tian Luo Pill?! How could Ling Chuxi possibly know how to refine an advanced tier Tian Luo Pill?’

After confirming that Lan Xinyu had accepted this fact, Ling Chuxi finally let go as she said with a pout, “However, now we don’t have money and can’t even buy herbs. How annoying. Quickly think, of who else can lend us some money.”

“Ling Chuxi… You… You are practically a freak! You know this and you know that!” exclaimed Lan Xinyu as she stretched out a trembling finger to point at Ling Chuxi. “You are practically an outstanding genius that really makes people so angry. I really wish to slash you to death with a single blow! How are other people expected to live?”

“Talk less nonsense, why don’t you! Now we don’t have money to buy herbs. Why don’t I borrow some money from that princess disciple of mine…” said Ling Chuxi as she started to think of the fifth princess. Fu Chengyu’s money had all been used up for the ma.s.sive bets they placed, so it seemed like the only one who had money right now was the fifth princess.

“Yes, yes, that is a good idea,” agreed Lan Xinyu as she nodded vigorously. Tian Luo Pill, oh, Tian Luo Pill! If she could take a Tian Luo Pill and be promoted, how nice would that be?

“Miss Ling Chuxi, why are you here? Are you here to buy herbs again?” Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard. Ling Chuxi turned around to take a look and immediately saw the young master of the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce, Gao Wentian. This medical hall also belonged to the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce.

“Young Master Gao, how do you do,” said Ling Chuxi as she smiled at Gao Wentian.

“Miss Ling Chuxi, what herbs do you need?” enquired Gao with a businessman-standard smile still plastered on his face.

“The same few as the last time. But the thing is, I don’t have money right now,” replied Ling Chuxi with a shrug.

“This…” Gao Wentian thought about it before he continued, “If you don’t have money right now, it’s fine. I can sell these herbs to Miss Ling on credit.”

“That good?” asked Lan Xinyu who was listening from the side with widened eyes.

“However, I would like to ask Miss Ling about something,” said Gao Wentian with a smile as he made a gesture inviting them inside. “Why don’t we go upstairs to have a chat?”
